Redington
Beach, North Redington Beach and Redington Shores are neighboring cities on the
Gulf Coast of Florida, west of Tampa and St. Petersburg.
These small barrier island cities are bordered by the Gulf of Mexico
to the west and Boca Ciega Bay to the east as well as Indian Rocks beach to the
north and Madeira Beach to the south.
Each
city has a permanent population of around 2,000 people and extends approximately
one-to-two miles along Gulf Boulevard, the main artery for this area. All cities
are mostly residential in nature with oceanfront condos, private waterfront
residences along the shores and canals of Boca Ciega Bay and inland dwellings.
Outside of a few restaurants, the pier and the beach, there are few attractions.
Beach access points for the daytime visitor appear limited and permits may be
required for residents and visitors alike.
Visitors
to the area will enjoy the popular Redington Long Pier in Redington Shores - a
wooden structure jutting over 900 feet into the Gulf of Mexico. Laden with
fishermen, pelicans and seagulls this narrow strip of wood provides some great
views back to the shore for those willing and able to walk its planks. Don't
forget about the great fishing, either!
The
government and citizens of Redington Beach, North Redington and Redington Shores
are serious about keeping their island paradise just that. There are many
restrictions and regulations in place in these 3 cities to keep them clean,
orderly and peaceful. If you are looking for a more wide open place to spend
vacation, travel a few more miles north to Clearwater Beach.
Visitors
to Redington Beach, North Redington Beach and Redington Shores can tour many
West Florida cities by car. The Island cities of Indian Shores, Indian
Rocks Beach, Belleair Beach, Belleair Shores and Clearwater all lie north along
Gulf Boulevard a few miles or more. Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, St. Pete
Beach and Pass-a-Grille all lie a few miles south. This area can be
accessed best from the Tampa International Airport (30 minutes) or the
Bradenton-Sarasota International Airport just south (60 minutes).
